Ectopic expression of syndecan-1 in stromal cells has been reported in carcinomas of the cervix [95,96], and stromal syndecan-1 expression was shown to correlate with poor prognosis in some tumor types such as cancers of the stomach [97], pancreas [46], endometrium [98], oral cavity [99], breast [100,101], bladder [48], and ovary [102]. This evidence concerns the gene SDC1 and cervical carcinoma.
